Ty Obrey Reviews

Emma
This cottage is lovely, in a top spotand we felt very welcomed. Would definitely come back!
Emma Turner
We stayed at this lovely house tucked away in a quiet spot, surrounded by sheep-filled fields-so peaceful! The hot tub and log burner were real highlightsand the kitchen had everything we needed. The lounge was spaciousand the beds were super comfy. The owners were really helpful too. Be warned, the road up to the house is quite narrow, so drive carefully. Crickhowell’s just a short drive for essentials. We all left feeling totally relaxed and will definitely return!
Alex T.
The spot’s pretty tucked away, so be ready to practice your reversing skills, especially if you’re in a big 4x4! The access is through a narrow lane with horses and animals aroundand you need to give way. It’s quite the experience, haha!
Martin
The place is perfect if you're after some chill time away from the hustle and bustle. Stunning views and a cosy cottage that has all you need. The hot tub was ready to go in about an hour and a half, which was pretty handy!
Emma Carter
The cottage was absolutely lovely, surrounded by stunning Welsh landscapes. We felt so relaxed and at home, especially with our dog along. The owners were genuinely friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommending this place to friends looking for a peaceful getaway!
Sam
Beautiful place, would visit again
Emma Clarke
The barn itself is gorgeous and in such a breathtaking spot. The hot tub was fantastic once it warmed up, though it took some tinkering. The beds are comfyand the sitting room is perfect for relaxing. Really enjoyed the peaceful escape!
James
This cozy cottage is perfect for dog lovers, nestled in such a stunning part of the Bannau Brycheiniog park. It’s a lovely spot to explore waterfalls, tiny villagesand mountain trails. We loved it and would return!

The cottage felt really cosy and the setting was stunning. We loved the walks and relaxing in the hot tub. Glyn was super friendly and helpful throughout. Thanks for a lovely week!
Sarah
The place is great for six people, spacious and in a lovely spot, though it could do with a proper clean. The hot tub with wood fire is a lovely bonus, makes it special!
Emma
Really enjoyed our stay here! The cottage’s location is fantastic, close to both the town and some lovely hills. It was spotless and well-equipped, which made everything so much easier. The highlight was definitely the wood-fired hot tub - super relaxing and straightforward to operate. We’ll definitely return!
Laura
This cottage was lovely, in a prime spotand the owners really looked after us. Will return soon!
Laura
The cottage was such a peaceful spot, perfect for escaping the hustle. The views from the hot tub were stunning, especially at sunset. It’s a bit tucked away down a really narrow lane, so be ready to reverse if you meet someone, but totally worth it. The local pub’s about a mile and a half awayand the food there was lovely. Ideal for walks-Pen-y-Fan, Dragon’s Back, waterfalls-you name it. The hot tub took a while to heat up, but once it did, it was so relaxing. No kids’ games, but we brought Jenga and found some DVDs at a charity shop. Great trip overall!
Emily Roberts
The place was really lovely, well stocked and comfy. We did notice the log fire kicked up quite a bit of dust, but apart from that, the bathroom and kitchen were spotless, which was great. The Wi-Fi was a bit patchy, took us a while to get used to it. Overall, we’d definitely recommend staying here!
Mark
Really enjoyed the stay, the cottage was super cosy and well-stocked. The hot tub was easy to useand the owners were lovely and friendly!
Simon
The cottage was fantastic and had everything we needed and more. The location was beautifuland the owners were super welcoming and friendly. We highly recommend!
Luke
What a stunning cottage! It's in a perfect location for us. The scenery is just breathtakingand we loved the peaceful atmosphere. The amenities were greatand everything was nice and clean. We were really happy with our stay and can’t wait to come back!
Jade
This cottage is just wonderful and set in a lovely rural spot! It’s ideal for unwinding and going for long walks.
Sarah
What a beautiful cottage in such a lovely area! The unfortunate part is that the cottage really does need updating. The mattresses are in need of replacingand the pillows felt musty, with the bed linen being quite old. Plus, the fridge wasn't working properlyand there was no welcome package. Such a shame!
Emily
We really loved the location! It would’ve been nice to have some games and tourist information leaflets available since the Crickhowell tourist information is shut on Sunday. Just a little thing to make it even better!
